We’ve had 85 pianists on the show so far and not one has played Claire De Lune. Thank goodness it finally gets played in this episode thanks to Robin Hancock! As well as the theme music from the rip-roaring rootin’ tootin’ western: The Magnificent Seven; the creepy Die Erlkonig; and classical compositions of Bach and Brahms and Tchaikovsky. Dr. Hancock is a member of the renowned American Piano Quartet and is part of the Piano Faculty at the BYU School of Music. Professor Hancock is active as a soloist with a knack for putting together entertaining programs. For example, one concert of his featured ALL the music in the Gershwin Songbook from 1932 along with the piano transcription of An American in Paris.  Follow Highway 89 on twitter @byuH89
